CNN's Fear & Greed Index seems pretty useful for looking for a good time to buy. Buy fear sell greed

Holding in high 70's.

Fear & Greed Index - Investor Sentiment - CNNMoney

The 10-year treasury yield has made a triple bearish pattern which, if they play out as T/A would have us believe, could be bullish for bonds prices and the F-fund going forward.

Like the AGG bond chart I post in my commentary, gold is also in a pennant formation and surprisingly the bullish pattern broke down - mostly because the dollar has been rising. But these patterns can do the fake-out / breakout dance so give it a few days to before declaring this a breakdown. Plus it would have to rebound back into the pennant to fill the open gap created this morning. I'm not a gold bug by any means - I don't own any at the moment - although buying some for a quick trade to fill that gap is on my radar. I just like to watch how common T/A patterns play out.

I noticed I have a tougher time being bullish without Birch around

Forgot to add more golden prices for my dividend buybacks, my wallflowers will accumulate more shares in time for SPX to run up to 4000 *snort*

Oil futures moved down overnight and early today, but stabilized for most of the day until the last few minutes...

Only a modest day down for the DOW and SPX, but small caps (IWM) got totally slammed today.

It seems like large caps have been showing more strength the past few months, and I always heard Birch saying the end of bull runs are near when large caps outperform. Could this be it?

This morning's open gap has been filled and now the SPY may be running into some resistance. Getting above 204 will be an important area in this last half hour of trading and into next week. It's the last 30 minutes of trading before a 3-day market weekend so I won't rule anything out.

The 3:33 pre-holday whoop!
